@JamesLNuzzo To be fair, the ‘recieved’ is often the latest version (I.e., could have been after multiple rounds of review).

#4FromRChair @VenuAkuthotaMD: Kudos this week to Mallory Pridy, Angela Vondra, Amanda Miller, and Drs. Yepson, @katie_boncella, Beausejour, and @DustinOranchuk!

Even small amounts of exercise are associated with a significant reduction in depression.

Repetitive negative thinking is associated with cognitive decline.

Repetition rewires the brain.

Friendly reminder: fascicles rarely run straight from end-to-end of muscles, so when using EFOV ultrasound you should plot the path using successive still pictures, draw that path on the skin, then follow that path (and adjust tilt, yaw). Here's an old VL image as example output.

Sprinting up the stairs 3 times, 3 days/week for 6 weeks improves VO2peak by 12% or ~1 MET (linked to a ~13% reduction in mortality risk)

81 years old. World record. VO₂max of a young adult

A new study shows that an 81-year-old ultrarunner maintained exceptional aerobic capacity and cardiovascular function—challenging the idea that aging inevitably limits performance.

Use it or lose it.

Introducing: The New Pyramid

[Daniel Berglind, PhD @DanielBerglind]

📉New 47-year longitudinal study shows that physical capacity peaks at ~26–36 years and then declines by 30–48% by age 63.
👉The good news? Individuals who stay active throughout life maintain better strength, endurance & VO₂max than those who don’t.

@DannyLum82 @MuscleMechsLab I would like to point out that the sample size has been increased from 6 (12 limbs) to 10 (20 limbs) for the full journal article. So the results are slightly different, but the takeaway is essentially the same.

[Dustin Oranchuk. PhD @DustinOranchuk]

@MuscleMechsLab @Fred__Duncan FYI their is a RCT that was run by @DannyLum82 comparing PIMA and HIMA of the knee extensors, that will be published early next year (we're just completing minor revisions atm).

Ill let @DannyLum82 share the results here if he likes, as he is the lead researcher.

@unusual_whales @TypeForVictory That would be pretty much inline with the retirement age/life expectancy ratio when state pensions were started

The discussion section includes what we deem should encompase 'Muscle Health', with suggestions and a conceptual model.

Conceptualized by @MHarrisLove1, and led by @katie_boncella, we are happy to see our paper published:

Clear themes emerged, with studies typically (and logically) using simple, low-cost, and portable tools (e.g., grip strength, sit-to-stand)
